What should an international patient prepare before traveling?

International patients should first obtain a valid visa for medical purposes, such as an S2 visa, and gather all prior medical records, including hormone profiles, ultrasound images, and previous treatment summaries. It is advisable to arrange a professional medical interpreter if not fluent in Chinese, as many clinics offer this service. Patients should also confirm that their chosen hospital has an international patient department to assist with logistics, including airport pickup and accommodation. Finally, plan for a follow-up care plan with a local gynecologist or endocrinologist back home to ensure continuity.
